Being green is about more than color with this Honesty Saddle Bag from Helen Riegle.
It’s called the Honesty because its layers were inspired by the large leaves of the Honesty plant, or the Silver Dollar as it’s often called. It makes sense for this handbag to take its cues from nature as it’s very environmentally conscious. Helen Riegle has crafted it from recycled microsuede, a soft but durable suede alternative which is kind to animals and their planet.
The layers will turn heads, but they’ve also got a practical purpose. They cleverly hide pockets which provide extra storage space. The functional features continue with a personal media device holder and a detachable key clip. The modern buckle makes the strap adjustable, but even fully extended it’s a little short for easy cross-body wear. An extra inch or two would have made all the difference.
This is a minor quibble in what’s otherwise a really innovative handbag, especially for the money. $235 isn’t exactly small change for a fabric handbag, but it’s quite reasonable for such a unique purse.
